Charles Darwin was the first biologist to observe the behavior of roots. In his book The Power of Movements of Plants, he describes how roots do not passively grow down, but move and observe. Darwin discovered that plants are far more intelligent, than anybody thought. Scherer applies the intelligence of plants in her work and makes the hidden world visible. With Interwoven the natural network of the roots grows into a textile like material.
